- Abstract
The endocranial capacity of Guattari 1 originally was estimated by Sergi1as approximately 1.550 cm3. Using three different approaches, a physical endocast, a stereolithographic model, and a virtual endocast, we have estimated the endocranial capacity of Guattari 1 as approximately 1.350 cm3. This paper explains our revision of the estimated endocranial volume of Guattari 1, provides a cautionary case concerning other estimates of endocranial volume, and demonstrates and encourages the use of recent advances in imaging, modeling, and analysis of endocranial volume.
